Yeah, well, lying isn't forbidden. I've seen more such interviews in Serbian, mostly in tabloids, some by him, some by his parents. On the other hand - the american guy was definitely in a coma. I don't think he could've faked that. To put someone in a coma, you really have to hit hard. These facts are not making it easy for Kovacevics right now. That's also probably the reason not many people here in Serbia believe them.

I just ran a check on our Constitution, and it does not mention extradition of our citizens to other countries. The document that regulates the extradition is Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Serbia, article 517: http://www.legislationline.org/documents/id/8918

"Does anyone know if the trial in Serbia means the entire police report comes to Serbia?" Good question, I hope someone more familiar with this will know the answer.

Probably not, it seems to me that all is being done in a not so legal way on both sides, and even concerning Steinhauser family - I must say that would mean they were also trying to "fly under the radar" if it turns out that this Hillary Clinton lobbying deal is true. That way it would turn out that they are interested in money primarily and not in Kovacevic getting a fair trial. But still, being that it was NY Post who brings these news, it's still filed under "very unverified".

That's also true, like many countries, Serbia did almost nothing to 'market' or 'brand' itself before the war, in comparison to some well known countries. Maybe a country shouldn't try to do that in the first place, maybe it should develop by itself, who knows? But evidently, now that mission is even more difficult.

Of course all this I wrote is easier said than done, but at least maybe it's a step in the right direction... Thanks for the nice words :)

As long a comment is good like this one, I don't mind that you're quoting yourself. Plus that's always better than copy pasting someone else's text :)

NY Post is, judging by the language used, something like or even a bit worse kind of "newspapers" than Serbian "Kurir" or "Press". Also judging by their influence, unfortunately, it seems they have much more power than Serbian tabloids. Here's the article from NY Post that suggests Clinton's involvement: http://www.nypost.com/seven/02222009/news/nationa... There's also a picture there that shows Steinhauer is out of the coma, and thankfully, able to walk now.

Good comment. One thing I've heard is that the whistleblower is actually someone from or connected to the US intelligence in Serbia - interesting theory I must admit.

I don't know, the problem that I'm getting is not the slowness in typing, but the delay for some comments to show up on the site after you hit the submit button. I guess it's this new commenting system I installed making trouble, if it continues to behave like this I will go back to the default one.

Maybe it would have happened, maybe not. What is definitely crap however, is your claim that Serbs should not hang out with Bosnian Muslims in general. I don't see how you managed to point that out as a lesson to be learned in this whole mess.

It's exactly this type of cases that made me wonder why there's a non-extradition clause in every country's constitution in the first place. I understand a country has to try and protect its citizens when there's a tiny amount of necessity for that kind of intervention, but I don't see it in these cases.

This reaction of yours is also, in short, a typical Serb reader reaction on most news sites, forums, blogs etc these days. Again, I understand it completely. On the other hand, this has turned into such a complex matter out of a bar brawl that it's becoming amazing to follow (at least to me).

"The real lesson in the story is for Serbs not to hang out with Bosnian Muslims, even if they are so desperately homesick they will just seek someone who speaks the same language. This wouldn't have happened at all if Miladin didn't hang around those two Bosnian Muslims. " what a load of crap.

I can't find any other source for this news, I hope it's a mistake. But I still think Serbia should deliver Kovacevic to the local US authorities.

I think the food prices here are rising very very slowly all the time, instead of huge leaps periodically. Maybe that’s why it seems that they are stagnating and nobody notices the inflation. Reminds me of that joke when a guy comes to the gas station and asks the station manager: “How much for a drop of gas?” Manager says “Drop of gas? That’s free…” “Ok, than” the guy says “can you drip 40 liters in my reservoir, please?”
